A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thomas Davis it is designed to offer a selection of his writings more fully representative than has hitherto appeared in one volume. The book opens with the best of his historical studies his masterly vindication of the much-maligned I rish Parliament of James II. Next follows a selection of his literary, historical and political articles from The Nation and other sources, and, finally, we present a selection from his poems, containing, it is hoped, everything of high and permanent value which he wrote in that medium The Address to the Historical Society and the essay on Udalism and Feudalism, which were reprinted in the edition of Da viss Prose Writings published by Walter Scott in 1890, are here omitted the former because it seemed possible to fill with more valuable and mature work the space it would have taken, and the latter because the cause which it was written to support has in our day been practically won; Udalism will inevitably be the universal type of land-tenure in I reland, and the real problem which we have before us is not how to win but how to make use of the institution, a matter with which Davis, in this essay, does not concern himself. The life of Thomas Davis has been written by his friend This work, with the inclusion of the full text of the more important of the A cts of the Parliament of James II., and with an Introduction by Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, was reprinted from the Dublin Monthly Magazine of 1841 by Mr. Fisher Unwin in 1891 as the first volume of the New I rish Library. It is now out of print.
